DIY Graduation Cards

This spring I have 4 of my friends graduating from college and my younger sister graduating from high school. That means I had to do some shopping for graduation gifts for all of them. If I give them a gift I obviously have to include a card, so I decided to go with handmade cards! I really like these with all the sparkles and personal touch (monograms) for each girl.

All the supplies came from Michael's craft store - not that they're sponsoring. I just want you to know where to get these items!- Blank white cards and envelopes- Red labels- Sparkle silver washi tape- Sparkle silver letter stickers- Graduation stickers (caps, balloons, and diplomas came in one pack)- Graduation statement banner stickers

On the front I placed a red label in the center of the card and then laid a sparkly silver letter sticker with the person's first initial on top of the label. Then I put the cap and diploma sticker in the top right corner and a balloon sticker in the bottom left corner. I like the diagonal design and it looks so clean!

On the inside of the card I used the sparkly silver washi tape to make a vertical line on the right side. I taped it all the way around the card to give it a clean look. Then at the top I placed one of the banner stickers on the top right side, with the right edge even with the tape. So pretty! It leaves plenty of room to write a nice message, too.

I'm so happy with how these turned out! I think my friends are really going to like these - and their gifts!

Do you have any graduations coming up? Are you going to DIY some cards?
